Photographers spend massive quantities of effort discussing light and the varied types of light – to get a better understanding of shadows! With “Mastering Shadows, Form and Texture In Photography” you will have it!
Ambient Light: Ambient light is the sort of light we’ll be using most often. Here we completely investigate what it is and the best ways to use it! Once we know how to manipulate the light, we can manipulate the shadows that define our shapes and textures.
The Key/Main Light: Before you can discover how to master the shadows, you will need to fully understand the light that’s forming them! Every light source whether it is ambient light or studio light (or both) makes its own set of shadows. As well as its own set of problems and opportunities!
Shadows: The shape, their position and how deep the shadows are - and your mastery of them - is what will change your photographs from boring, lifeless "snapshots" into something you will be proud to not just hang on the wall, but you will be excited about signing them too!
The Fill Light: Here’s the key to controlling the depth of your shadows and bringing feeling into your work.
Fixing Facial Flaws Using (Or Not Using) Shadows: Each face and each scene has flawed areas that you can "fix" in the camera. Every subject you’ll photograph wants and deserves to look like a million bucks! It is your responsibility as a shooter to make sure it happens.
Glare: Reflections of light in glasses can easily ruin a portrait. Aditionally it is extremely hard to "handle it" in PS. Dealing with it in camera is extremely easy after you learn how.
You are closer than you’d imagine to shooting truly stunning photographs that’ll be the envy of your associates and family!
